This policy refers to cookies and web pages operated by www.dreamfree.ro.

What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by the request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user’s hard drive).
About cookies
This website uses its own and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services adapted to the needs and interests of each one.

We use two types of Cookies: per session and fixed. The latter are temporary files that remain in the user’s terminal until the session ends or the application (web browser) is closed. Fixed files remain on the user’s terminal for a period within the Cookie parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user.
The cookies used by www.dreamfree.ro (own or third-party) are: Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel.

In what we call “web 2.0”, “cookies” play an important role in facilitating access and delivery of the multiple services that the user enjoys on the internet, such as:

• – Customizing certain settings such as: the language in which a site is viewed, the currency in which certain prices or rates are expressed, keeping options for various products (measurements, other details, etc.) in the shopping cart (and memorizing these options) – thus generating the flexibility of the “shopping cart” (accessing old preferences by accessing the “forward” and “back” buttons)
• – Cookies provide website owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by users, so that they can make them even more efficient and accessible to users.
• – They allow multimedia or other applications from other sites to be included in a particular site to create a more valuable, useful and enjoyable browsing experience;
• – Improves the effectiveness of online advertising;
  An “Internet Cookie” (also known as “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the Internet is accessed.
  The cookie is installed by the request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome)
  A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the duration of the existence of a cookie is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.

Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (‘persistent cookies’). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through their browser settings.
A visit to this website may place cookies for the purposes of:

  Cookies are the central point of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use.
• Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your browsing behavior.
• Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed or self-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
• Cookies can, however, be used for negative purposes. Since they store information about the preferences and browsing history of users, both on a specific site and on several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/anti-spyware removal/scanning procedures.
• Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most widespread and used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others. Here are some tips that can help you navigate safely with cookies:
• – Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for you regarding the use of cookies.
• – If you do not mind cookies and are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration dates for storing browsing history and personal access data.
• – If you share access to the computer, you can consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is an option to access the sites that place cookies and delete any visit information when you close the browsing session.
• – Install and update antispyware applications regularly.
  Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detection of attacks on websites. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download malicious software. Make sure your browser is always up to date. Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting weaknesses in old browser versions.
  Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and biggest sites on the Internet – local or international. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the Internet with confidence.
  Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising.
• It is possible to set your browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted or you can set your browser to accept cookies from a specific site. But, for example, if you are not registered using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments.
• All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in your browser’s “options” or “preferences” menu.
• Security and privacy issues
• Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed or self-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate themselves on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
• Cookies can, however, be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users’ preferences and browsing history, both on a specific site and across multiple sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and consistently mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/anti-spyware removal/scanning procedures.
• Browsers generally have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
• Other security aspects related to cookies:
• Since identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what possible problems cookies can create. Because through them information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission process, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted.
• Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g. an unsecured WiFi network).
• Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting your personal information.
• Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies.
• Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most widespread and used sites, including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
